As a retired NYS Trooper and DOT Inspector let me give you my take on the "12 violations on one ticket" business. I've written Inspection Reports with no violations and no tickets issued, 1 violation and no tickets, 1 violation and 1 ticket, 8-10 violations and 1 or 2 tickets and one doozie of a report with 47 separate violations and 20 some tickets issued. An Inspection Report isn't a ticket, it's a report of the inspection and any deficiencies discovered. A ticket is obviously a charge for a violation of the respective laws and regulations in play. I would also note that the vast, vast majority of tickets I wrote for violations of the FMSCR were equipment violations, "Fix-it tickets" as they were called. You have a marker light out, a tire in poor condition, a mud flap that's too short, maybe a couple of iffy tiedowns. I would have given the easy ticket for the marker light and the rest of the stuff would need to be fixed. You fix the light with in the time period allotted, get the Correction Slip signed and send in the paperwork to the court that dismisses the ticket. End of story.
I'll tell you something about this "God complex" I keep hearing about. That ended for me the night I was on my back in a trailer court with a guy trying to choke me to death while his wife, who he'd just beat up, was trying to kick my reproductive gear into the next county. A few events like that tend to make you a bit standoffish and more than a little skeptical about peoples good will and honesty. Add into to it seeing what wonderful animals people really are in every perverse, disgusting way you can imagine and you might well be a little less than Mr. Personality yourself. No one likes getting a ticket, most guys I worked with weren't crazy about having to give them out either. But if there wasn't someone there to try and keep people following the rules we'd have anarchy.
